Was There a Seven-Branched Lampstand in Solomon’s Temple?

By Carol L. Meyers

Buyer Beware!

Sensationalist claims sold here
By Ben Witherington III

It’s Elementary

Psalms 9 and 10 and the order of the alphabet
By John StrugnellHanan Eshel
041 Psalms 9 and 10 have always been somewhat of a puzzle. The first question is whether they are actually two parts of one long psalm or whether they are two separate psalms. What suggests that they were originally really one piece is that...

A Short History of the Dead Sea Scrolls and What They Tell Us

By Lawrence H. Schiffman
045 I want to say here and now how grateful I am to the original team of Dead Sea Scroll scholars who failed to publish the bulk of the scrolls for nearly 40 years and refused to let other scholars see them in the meantime. But for them, I...

By Geza VermesLawrence H. Schiffman

Surprises at Yattir: Unexpected Evidence of Early Christianity

By Hanan EshelJodi MagnessEli Shenhav
032 032 Archaeology is full of surprises. Sometimes we don’t find what we had expected to find. Or we find something we never expected to find. Either way, the experience is always exciting—and...

The Significance of the Scrolls

The second generation of scholars—or is it the third?—offers a new perspective on the texts from the Qumran caves
By Lawrence H. Schiffman

Digging the Talmud in Ancient Meiron

By Eric M. MeyersCarol L. Meyers

Finders of a Real Lost Ark

American archaeologists find remains of ancient synagogue ark in Galilee
By Eric M. MeyersCarol L. Meyers

How I Found a Fourth-Century B.C. Papyrus Scroll on My First Time Out!

By Hanan Eshel

By Stephen J. Patterson
034 The Lost Gospel. The very concept provokes a flood of questions. If it is lost, how do we know it ever existed? How do we know what was in it? Who lost it? And how was it lost? Perhaps most intriguing of all: Will it ever be found? A new book...
